The intersecting stories of Percy Hatim, an aspiring young trainer from Pastoria City, and Cyrus Akagi, a physicist seeking to change the world in every sense of the word. Set in the spatio-temporally unstable region of Sinnoh, based on a Nuzlocke challenge run of Pokemon Platinum.

hey guys come check out the story I've been cooking for... way too long!

read on my website (recommended) or AO3! and also on the nuzforums

good lord I feel like a fool, I thought that you were drawing beheeyem with slightly different colors because you might be colorblind in some way?

nope, that's just a shiny beheeyem lmao. congrats to colress for that

LOL funny you might mention that. i'm not colorblind but my version of colress is! he can't see the color red at all (protanopia) which is a bit ironic considering his initial work with cyrus is... making red chains... but anyways his beheeyem wasn't actually meant to be shiny i just felt blue matched him better than the green hahaha. and i guess in an in-universe sense he can actually distinguish all 3 colors on his beheeyem's fingers better if they've got blue+red instead of green+red. i feel like there should be some amount of natural color variation in creatures like pokemon aside from "shinies" though tbh, to me it's a bit limiting to consider everything outside canon colors as "shiny" (see the volcaronas i made haha). even though his beheeyem matches the canon shiny perfectly that wasn't my intent so /shrug

anyways, for fun here's my most recent colress art through a protanopia (red-blind) filter. he stays pretty much the same hahaha

Hey, I noticed that you mentioned that Zekrom was in its stone form in the Plasma universe and that Team Plasma was attempting to awaken it in order to fuse it with their Kyurem or something like that. But isn't Kyurem always shown to forcibly turn the other members of the Tao trio back into their stone form before then fusing with them?

achieving the full complete form of chowarim is a little different than just filling kyurem halfway!

yes, for any form of kyurem to fuse with either of the other two dragons they have to be in stone form (same method to go from base form -> white/black kyurem -> chowarim. tldr you are what you eat). but the formation of chowarim requires that all three of the components have a shared goal/desire/motivation in mind, whether that's genuine or mind controlled or what. so the reason zekrom being locked in stone form poses an issue for ghetsis in the gamma universe is because, well, it's a bit hard to put a photon visor on a rock and have that work? nor does zekrom want to come out of stone form either hahaha. they don't know about the shared-intent requirement for chowarim in the plasma universe, so just trying to get white kyurem eat the dark stone doesn't do anything...

and here's another chowarim doodle that i haven't shared here yet

so now heres a question ive been kiiinda thinking if for a while? since ik youre head of accretionshipping, i was thinking about ways it could be angsty ig in this overall au? (with something like a constant being interpersonal ties) is there any of that or is it All Business No Gay People?

ahaha i am honored to be considered the head of accretionshipping ;) i'll say that the stuff i write/talk about with them is going to be super specific to this au of course haha. i won't be directly addressing any stuff that i plan to cover in a Bigger Thing later so for now it'll be supersymmetry/rr stuff anyways. because of that i might as well address both of these asks at once haha

anyways for both of these i do have that fic i wrote! there's more stuff between them later of course - colress sends the bosses into containment on the frigate (i will be elaborating on this later) so he gets the chance to actually talk to cyrus hahaha. early on at least he thinks this is his version of cyrus but, well... unfortunately not... colress is also very intrigued about whether cyrus actually has actually retained any of his red chain powers from his universe hahaha

it's not entirely smooth sailing once colress has all the bosses in containment either though. sure cyrus might be the most cooperative because he wants to Get Out Of There (and the dimensional stuff is interesting), but uh. colress wants to keep him around for a bit longer and cyrus does not like to be in a position without any control over himself, literally or not. clearly this will end well

Chowarim - Dragon / Fairy The Complete Pokemon Ability: Concordance - Boosts the power of fire, electric, and ice type moves by 50%.

It's said that Chowarim's song is unmatched in its beauty and can subdue even the most unruly of hearts. It strives to quell conflict and aid those who seek a harmonious future.

The original Unovan dragon of legend: the summation of Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem. The black crystals across its body scatter the light from the engine on its tail into a rainbow of colors.

alright, weird question that popped into my head after watching a Certain Very Good Movie:

is it possible to kill someone with the visors? not by making the visored target do some form of bodily harm to themself, but through some other, uniquely visor means, even if its not an intended way of use?

this was probably an issue that colress had to deal with when first making the visors tbh. got to balance outright control over the subject's actions without also overriding the very necessary involuntary actions (like breathing) needed to keep them alive ahaha... just forcing the wearer to stop breathing or something similar would probably be the easiest way to kill someone with a visor though it'd have to be one of the higher strength ones with full control.

is there some cheat code to just turn someone's brain off with the visor another way? probably, overloading someone's brain with psychic power or something. considering it's based on hypnotic lights it could certainly induce seizures too... in general you don't really want to be on the receiving end of this regardless of whether there's an established kill switch or not haha
